After calling downtown Camas its home for more than a decade, the annual Mother's Day Plant and Garden Fair will be held at a new location. The new site for the Saturday, May 7, event -- organized by the Columbia Gorge Women's Association -- will be the grounds of Camas High School. According to Joyce Lindsay, vice president of the CGWA, the venue change was made because as representatives from the women's association began making plans for this year's 14th annual fair, there appeared to be a possibility that fees could be assessed by the city and prepaid for costs associated with items such as overtime for city personnel and equipment delivery and pickup. "It's an awful lot of work to put that event on," said Lindsay, adding that about $3,800 was raised from the 2010 event that drew 10,000 to 12,000 people and benefits scholarships for disenfranchised homemakers. "We aren't doing it to pay the city, we are doing it to help women."
